6 months old!

Loves her baths! This pic is a few weeks old - she sits up in the bath now :)

Our sweet Emmerson turned 6 months old this week! I can"t believe that half of a year has passed by so quickly...She is truly one of the happiest babies I have ever been around. She is constantly smiling (even when she is exhausted from taking two 15 or 20 minute naps at daycare ALL DAY LONG - yikes!) She laughs a lot now (video below). She has also started making lots of noises - and yells quite a bit. I sit right in front of her a lot and try to get her to say "mama" or "dada" and she just laughs at me like I am hilarious! She is a sitting pro now. She loves to sit and play with all of her toys :) She still enjoys the jumper and exersaucer, but when we're home, she usually just wants to be held by Mommy (which is SO ok with me!). Guess we have to make up for all that missed time while I am at work & she is at daycare. She still loves her oatmeal - and has eaten and enjoyed apples, pears, peaches, bananas, prunes, sweet potatoes, squash and carrots (I think that covers it!). Let's just put it this way, she hasn't turned anything down yet! She sleeps really well at night. Not the 12 hours straight every night like she teased us with a month ago. She goes to bed around 7:30 or so and still wakes up most of the time at 4:30 or 5 for a quick bottle then goes back to sleep for a few hours. But we'll take it! She goes for her checkup this week - I am venturing a guess that she is somewhere between 26 and 27 inches long, and probably weighs somewhere around 22 pounds. These are blind guesses...all I know is she is growing, growing, growing!
